I discovered your blog through your craftiness too, but was after struck by your human side. From my daily blog reading dose, yours is the last one I read (always), as a way of saving the best for last... My love too you from overseas, sara Kelli,

I'm glad she is getting one of the best examples of Americans in you. You are fantastic and I must admit, I'm a little bit envious of you having such an interesting opportunity....although you seem to have many and I am grateful that you share them with all of us. Being there for someone is truly a gift--to them and to you. Larissa Kelli,

I had the privilege of working in the home of an Iranian family (as a nurse) for over ten years, and it enriched my life immeasureably! It is awe-inspiring to see the edges of a culture that dates back to the dawn of history and before. It also serves to help me appreciate my own privileges and the ease with which doors have opened for me in life, in contrast to the hurdles many immigrants have had to overcome. There are large Iranian communities in California, and there is a smaller but active one here in the Seattle area...perhaps there is one in Phoenix as well?
